Army Pigeon Lofts.

The militarists of Europe have new
fad. Having exhausted their ingen.
uity increasing the size of guns for
naval and land-seige purposes and
having perfected the field telegraph
and field hospital service, no army in
Europe is now considered to be in
proper condition to take the field with
out an abundant supply of pigeons.
The pigeon loft is part OF the regular
paraphernalia of every German gar
rison now; the French appropriate
large amounts annually for tho birds,
and every Government in Europe is In
the race to secure the best carrier.
pigeon service. The French, indeed,
at the siege of Paris utilized the birds
continually, and quite long dispatches,
compressed into small space by pho.
tographic reduction, were sent one
bird carrying during the siege as many
as forty thousand messages safely. As
the pigeons average forty to forty.five
miles an hour, it is apparent that they
are Of greater service than balloons,
since they possess the quality Of dirig-

LOSS AND GAIN.

II the June rose could guess
BEFORE the sunbeam wooed her from the bud,
And Redeemed into life her faint young blood.
What blight should fall upon her loneliness
What darkness Of decay, what shrouo o.
snow
Would the rose ever blows
II the wild lark could feel
When first between two worlds he caroleo
clear,
yoicing the ecstasy OF either sphere,
What apathy Of song should DER him steal.
What broken accents and what 1slterlns
wing
Would the lark ever stnR!
Alas, and yet alas,
For glory Of existence that shall passl
For pride Of beauty and for strength OF song!
Yet were the untried life deeper wrong,
Better Q single throb Of being win,
Than never to have been!

Presidents room at the Capitol to-day and pre-
sented to him copy Of the constitution OF that
Territory, adopted by convention preliminary to

ton consisted OF Messrs. w. ". Ritter, g. WoOiey
and F. 5. Richards members OF the Utah legis!a-
ture; John I. Game, delegate in Congress, and
